Character

Maxwell Lord IV

Description

Maxwell Lord is a wealthy and ambitious DC businessman best known as the driving force behind the formation of Justice League International. Born into a powerful corporate family, he used his fortune and connections to assemble and bankroll a global team of heroes rather than a strictly American one. He operates as a manipulator and power broker, more comfortable working deals and pulling strings than fighting on the front lines. First appearing in 1987, he has shifted over the years between ally and adversary of the League he helped create.
